why the North Sea storm surge didn't occur is the reason why the
Cumbria event happened ! The last sentence is a piece of wonderful
waffle.

I think calling him delusional is actually taking a charitable view. I'm
more cynical.
* * * * * Your cynicism is almost certainly justified, although
delusional is accurate too, especially after this latest débacle.
* * * * * *I have met him, twice, when he gave talks to Croydon
Astronomical Society. *God knows why we asked him - I was off the
committee by then. *He has an enormous ego and has an entourage of
groupies to assist him. *He waved a cheque about which represented his
winnings in some meteorological bet, which I thought was a bit
vulgar. *He wouldn't explain his methods when I and others from the
audience questioned him after the talk and there was some
embarrassment.
* * * * * With the widespread ignorance of meteorology among the
population and press in particular he knows he can con people into
taking him seriously and make a lot of money in the process. *This
feeds both his bank balance and his ego. *And all this despite his
repeated failings.

The man sounds utterly vulgar...
